Summary

Democrats Face SHOCKING Defeat In California Spelling Possible Republican Red Wave In November. In CA-25 A Republican is currently favored to win.

This means the GOP is set to reclaim a district they lost by 9 points to the Democrats in 2018. Democrats are trying to downplay the impending loss by saying they want to focus on winning in November where Anti-Trump sentiment may help them drive voter turnout.

But according to NYT one of the reasons the GOP lost the House in 2018 was due to low turnout from Trump supporters.

Trump's base are not Republican supporters and many did not show up at the polls.

This could be indicative of Trump losing support but coupled with other data showing that Trump's base has only grown it stands to reason that Trump voters only want to vote Trump and will likely do so in November.

These supporters may then just check R across the board giving a massive push for the GOP in the house.

However current tracking data is bad news for Republicans showing Democrats are flush with cash and poised to win, their downfall may be Joe Biden a man for which almost no one is excited to show up for.
